Protest War Universe

(In-universe article)



The Protest War Universe, also known as Prime Reality 2/3 Alpha, was an alternate reality in which a series of protests in the year 2013 led to large changes in Earth's history, as well as the histories of other worlds and cultures.

2013
On the night of June 13, 2013, events occured that changed history in significant ways. The Minnesota Twins were playing the Kansas City Royals. Following a torn tendon during warm-up by Justin Morneau, the Twins lost the game by a small margin. Unbeknownst to others at the time, the alcohol percentage in the stadium beer reserves was much higher than normal, and the game dragged on into extra innings. Many drunk fans spilled out from the stadium and clashed with the extra DWI patrols that were out that weekend. Eventually the upset fans got worked into a riot. The Minnesota National Gaurd controlled the situation with plasma stun gun imported from Europe.

These agressive new tactics inspired protests against "police brutality" in New York, Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Fransisco, and Honolulu. This set off a chain reaction of protests about most issues, ranging from minor demonstrations to huge riots. The government had a hard time controlling anything by this point. NYSE, AMSE, NASDAQ and other stock exchanges closed. The American National Socialist party rose up in the Southwest promising stability. They gained many members from the Democratic and Independant parties.

Many military units mutinied against the unstable govenment; the remaining ones were used to kill off rioters. The government started moving hydrogen bombs and other weapons of mass destructino away from Cheynne Mountain bunker. One was hacked by an unknown entity, possibly the Chinese, and exploded in Denver, destroying the city. The government became terrified and began evacuating its officials to more secure and stable countries. With the Navy busy evacuating government officials to military bases in Germany, Russia was able to pursue its dream of invading Alaska, perhaps part of a part to take over America. China took over guam and the Northern Mariana islands.

2014
Local and state governments started taking control. Canada invaded Washington and Maine. The Confederacy was resurrected by redneck groups who saw their chance to regain their old ways of life. Many city-states were founded in the Rocky Mountains, isolated since the destruction of Denver. The few remaining government officials moved the capitol to Vail.

2015

The Revolutionary Comittee was overthrown in a coup. Soon afterwards, the Socialist Council rose up and took control. The new leaders declare the roving pseudo-communist armies “anti-revolutionary”, and funding was cut off. Without funding, various armies had to use “mandatory collectivism” to make ends meet. The Collective Army of Cairo collapsed, giving control of Southern Illinois to the SC.

2016

The New Confederacy gained strenght with the addition of Florida. The Treaty of Fayetteville was signed with the Republic, giving the two nations official borders. Oklahoma had fallen into anarchy during the riots of 2013. Native American supremists there sabatoged all the fertilizer factories in the state, filling the area with chemicals and killing hundreds with the explosion. 2 years later, Tusla finally rose up and took control of the area.

2018



 Nazi New Mexico continued its space race with Russia, launching a chimpanzee to Mars. The Republic of Texas saw its neutrality unexpectedly violated when Nazi New Mexico invaded. Big Bend and the Texas Panhandle were quickly lost. President Rick Perry resigned in shame. Meanwhile, Vail and Castle Rock, now with enough flat land to launch rockets and missiles, joined together to prepare for war with China. Beutz Enterprises set up its base in Vail and worked on basic antimatter weapons.



 Chennye and Casper were locked in combat over Wyoming. Casper lost large amounts of land. Out of all the chaos, Cody declared independence. Boise and Lewiston signed a truce. Their armies began preparing for the prospective Canadian and Chinese invasion.



 The Chinese completed their invasion of Nevada.



 Irrationally fearing a zombie apocalypse, North Korea pulled the teeth of all its subjects.



2019



 Former U.S President Barack Obama is killed in an automobile crash in Berlin. Former Frence President Hollande is also in the car but survives, paralyzed.



 2020

 The Nazi chimpanzee on Mars becomes infected with a genetically engineered slime mold whose semi-conscious goal is to assimilate as many bodies as possible into its grasp, expanding its intelligence, knowledge and size. It appears to have been deliberately sent to Mars by Nazi scientists. As Nazis control television satellites, the world watches in horror as the chimpanzee slowly becomes engulfed by yellow paste, dying but being rebirthed in the slime molds consciousness. The chimpanzee is the first to be assimilated into the Slime Mold Collective.

The newley assimilated commander reassures the other tikonauts that the intruder has been killed. He then assimilates them all.
